Joiners By Me/ Joiners Por Mim

Joiners are made of a group of photographs that overlap on each other or put in a grid format in order to recreate the original image. Variations of scale can be used to make it more creative, 3-dimensional or surreal. In other words, it is almost like a puzzle you can create yourself. Here I will show some Joiners I produced.

David Hockney is the photographer known to be the creator of the “Joiner” technique. He did them out from entire landscapes, portraits of people and objects. I first researched him when I was in college as part of a photography project. At university I again looked at his work and produced more joiners.

EN/ This technique overall is quite simple to do, you can do it manually or with Photoshop. The Joiner of the Venetian Mask and the Imaginary Arch (see above) I did it manually by photographing into its details, and then printed the photos and cut&pasted into white paper.

EN/ Digitally it is quite simple to do, you first photograph something you want, and then play around with the photos on Photoshop. It is really fun and you can get very creative with it, creating new perspectives or exploring shadows and shapes.
